This past week has been an interesting week as far as the family goes and my pregnancy. I met with Dr. B this week, things are looking good. Baby is not longer directionally challenged. And Peanut's heartbeat was in the 140's. Movement is slowing down, but when it does move they are big movements.I only gained 1 pound in 2 weeks. He and I talked some more about my weight gain, and why the last huge jump really bothered me. He is still not concerned, because he said it's right within the limit he wants me to gain. I did tweak my daily food diet though. I discovered that even though I've been snacking on a lot of GF snack foods, and some breads. They can still be just as high as Weight Watcher points, so I need to be mindful of that, and plus this last month I really got away from eat the 7-9 servings of fruit and veggies, that I've been eating this pregnancy, which would explain it too. So I'm back to eating more fruits, veggies, and protein like before and it shows with the only 1 pound weight gain. I'm not starving by any means...wasn't before the pregnancy either. :) I'm back to drinking my water too, I've had to increase it because the swelling is here to stay I feel till the end. :(
The kids and I have been enjoying the gorgeous sunny weather the last couple of weeks and going on almost nightly walks w/the kids riding their bikes. Which helped too. Gotta get that vitamin D too. :) I swear Cyril is the typical little kid, he wants to be outside all the time. We've had to really keep an eye on him, because he loves to go out by himself, and ride his bike...or cause mischief.
On Wednesday he did something that I swear NEVER entered my mind of a kids doing. One of my daycare moms was picking up her girls. When all of a sudden Cyril comes in and tells me "Momma, poop". I assumed he had to go, so I told him too. "Nope, all done" I asked if he had flushed and washed his hands. "Not in there momma." By this point I was very confused, so I asked him where did he go? "Outside momma." Where outside I asked him. "Me -poop on deck." His eyes were shining with pride, and he had the biggest grin on his face. I did not believe for a moment he was serious. I figured out all of our children he'd be the one we see peeing outside on a tree. So I went and looked, sure enough, on the deck he did. Between the kids roaring with laughter, and me trying not to laugh, he beamed up at me with pride the whole time. I know it probably wasn't the thing to laugh, but I was speechless.
Now the deck is clean and disinfected. Hopefully the Clorox bleach will not destroy the deck...that would not be a good thing. Cyril and I talked about where it's okay to go to the bathroom and where it's not. But something tells me this won't be the last time we have this conversation....

Maternity Photoshoot.
I didn't get a chance last weekend to post about how the photo shoot went. I almost backed out at the last minute and didn't do it. Because at least 1 person tried to talk me out of it. But I felt bad for the photographer if I did. I'm so glad that I prayed about it, and went thru with it.
The place was way out in the country and I mean way out in the country. I knew that Becker was a little town spread out, boy was it spread out! lol. I'm so glad that Jessie came with the kids & I. He was able to find it no problem, and he helped keep the kids entertained for the last part of the photoshoot. She lives on a farm and yes, with farm animals. Our kids were in Heaven. Especially Dawn...I think there were at least 5 cats out there.
The 1st part of the shoot went surprisingly well, considering it was with the kids. Spencer was a little bit of a stinker, but he did work with us for the most part. Dawn I think, had a blast, she seemed to get into the photo shoot as much as I did. She surprised me and asked if the photographer (Erin) would take a picture of her and Spencer together. Cyril of course was very shy of Erin, it took almost the whole 2hrs to have him warm up to her. (He's so shy of strangers) So I hope she got come cute shots of us. Jessie wouldn't do any photos, which was disappointing, but not entirely surprising. It would have been fun to have some of the shots with him in it.
I didn't do any nude ones, because I wasn't comfortable doing them with the kids so close (even though they were outside.) We did some bare belly shots, which we used a drape to cover up, which was fun. She gave me a great compliment which made me feel good. There were a couple of shots that I forgot to have her do, and didn't remember till afterwards. :( But I think she got some great shots. I'm getting nervous and anxious about them...it's funny the longer I go without seeing them, the longer I start picking things apart about how I should have stood different, wore something different, and etc. Judging by her pictures that she had displayed she is a good photographer, hopefully I was a worthy enough subject. Then again, I think all pregnant women feel that way, unless they are the model type pregnant women, and we all know who those women are. ;)
Either way, I'm glad that we did the photo shoot, it's something I have always wanted too do, but let others talk me out of it before. And since this is the last baby, I think it was a fun way to document that with the kids. So hopefully this weekend, we will get the photos. Another neat thing, she is putting them on a CD and we will get all the rights to them. She offered to have some printed up for us, and I think I may have her do that for at least one of them. There's 1 shot where I'm hoping and praying really hard that it will turn out. It's with all 3 of the kids & I, we were sitting on the floor. I'm not sure if you could tell I was pregnant in that shot or not, but it was fun a shot. We actually got Spencer to lean into me, like Dawn did on the other side of me. Cyril was in front. So we'll see.
Being patient is getting very hard. ;)

2nd u/s
Well we had a 2nd ultrasound on Wednesday. I ended up switching to my old OB/GYN doctor after I discovered recently that he was practicing at a different clinic. I didn't realize how stressed out I was about him not being my doctor, till after I left the clinic last week, and it was like this HUGE weight had been lifted off my shoulders. He didn't like the sketchy details the U/S tech had in my file. The U/S results from last month STILL were not in my file, so he ordered a new one.
This time around it was either the U/S tech, the machine or both, but the U/S seemed to be super clear. I can't get over how clear everything seemed to be. And a relief to me was that baby flipped this time. It's head down, butt up...I know, I know, it can still change in the next 10 weeks and go back. If it does there is this great website that a midwife neighbor of mine told me about, which I'll try. This time around the tech got everything that it needed too, and sometimes several shots of certain things. It looked like everything went okay, but I'll know on Thursday when I go in to see Dr. B. The best reassurance is that he still reads his own patients' results, the old doctor didn't do that.
Baby is a....surprise. ;P The U/S tech was kind enough to let me know in advance when she was going for the gender shot, had me close my eyes and yes -everyone I did close my eyes. She even saved that picture on a separate image for Jessie to look at later. The cool thing about this clinic besides my doctor being there is that U/S results are put on a CD. Baby is measuring 2 weeks ahead of schedule and she thinks it's going to be a big baby according to the stomach measurements (unless I have gestational diabetes - which I'll find out on Thursday.), it's keeping up with his/her siblings, since they were all big. Weight is an estimate 2.2lbs, it's gained 1 pound in about a 3-4 weeks.
My hunch is that this little one is now a boy. My belly is carrying more like I did with the boys, very low and almost in my hips, my skin has cleared up(had great skin with the boys, not with Dawn), and the biggest clue: A couple of times during the U/S, I saw a faint "turtle" shot, which is usually the clue it's a boy, but they weren't real clear shots, very faint.
Jessie looked last night at the CD, and said that if the tech hadn't written what the gender was, he wouldn't have had a clue. It wasn't as clear of a shot as David's gender shot was. With David- we both knew right away, when we say it. But he hasn't let on either way if it's a boy or girl yet. He's a good secret keeper though....so we'll see what happens. He hasn't said anything to the kids, but we all know that I'll know within the day, that they know. They have a competition going on about where this baby is sleeping depending on it's gender. lol.
I was really amazed at the disappointment I felt Wednesday night, at the mere THOUGHT of it being another boy. I didn't realize how badly I want this baby to be a girl. So I journaled a lot about it, prayed to GOD about it, and even talked to one of my MOPS mentor moms about it. She gave me some great advice. (This woman is amazing though. She is such a steward of GOD, it's amazing how she always seems, to have the right advice, piece of wisdom to share or encouragement to give. Even with everything she has had to deal with this past year, she still comes to MOPS and encourages/mentors us younger moms.)I also talked to Jessie about my feelings about it. I'm not so disappointed now, because bottom line I want this baby healthy. And like my mentor mom said. This baby was picked for our family...we may not see how this baby fits in our family, but whether it's a boy or girl, it will be the perfect fit for our family.
GOD Bless~

Let the nesting begin....
I'm starting to wonder if I've entered into the nesting phase of this pregnancy, glutton for punishment or maybe a little bit of both. ;) Most people that know me in person know that if I get tired of waiting for someone to do something, or if I'm not sure a person will help I just do it myself. Well I think this past week I have over done it a wee bit.
Well, last week we got about 6 inches of snow, (I think that was the total) the roof needed to be shovel, because otherwise our landlord would have had a fit. I already had gotten two emails in regards to making sure the roof got done. I know that he worries about his house, and wants to make sure we do a good job taking care of it, but sometimes....
Anyways, since Jessie was out of town working the task fell to me. It's not really that big of a deal, but LORD did he have a fit when he discovered what I did when he got home. Not only did I take the snow rake and did the front of the house, but I climbed out on to the back part of the roof to get that all done too. Again not a big deal. It's not like I needed to get a ladder, part of the house has flat roofs, that's what needed to get done. But for the rest of the week, I ended up getting a lot of BH contractions. :(
Almost ended up going to the hospital as a result. Read I should have gone up, but when I got there, I had to go thru ER, wait in their waiting room (Sick people), and go thru admitting. UM, I'm not there for a social visit but for contractions people!!! So I said screw it, and left. You should have seen the shock on these people's faces, when I said I'm leaving. You would have thought I had two heads. So I've been taking it semi-easy this weekend, and will continue to till I see the doctor later this week.
Fast forward to today though...I've started cleaning our room/ getting the house re-organized, trying to finish a baby blanket I had knitted for my neice/trying to start one for the baby(getting very stressful), planning the meals we will need again for when the baby arrives. I had a good stash, but we've been using them since Jessie was laid off for much of last month. So time to get going again, not to mention I need to get our pantry and household stash built back up for when this little one arrives. It's amazing how easy it is to start feeling overwhelmed with everything that needs to get done in preparation of his/her arrival.
In some ways May seems like a long ways off. Spring seems so far away, but really it's 15 weeks away to due today, can you believe I'm getting close to less then 100 days till D-day!
So I think it's safe to say: Nesting has begun. :)

I'm a slacker.
Life has been very crazy, exciting, harsh and complicated this past year. It's no excuse to have excluded blogging about it, but to be honest I just lost track of the time. It's already January of the new year. JEEZ!
In May we rented a house, that is closer to the kids' school district, and I love being 7 minutes away from their school instead of a 25 minute drive, one way. The house has plenty of room, and the yard is HUGE. Did I say HUGE - it's on a double city lot, the best part about it is that it's fenced in and there was a garden already done. Okay that's 2 things.
I started doing daycare in June with a family. They have 2 kids, a girl and a boy. Who of course stole my heart and that of Nana's right away. Then I started doing drop in care with friends' kids, who all also stole my heart right away...am I a sucker for little kids, or just an easy target? lol. I NEVER in a million years thought I would love doing daycare. I love that I'm home for my children, and I love being here to nuture other people's children while their parents have to work. At least they are in a loving, fun, safe environment during the day.
I discovered that I'm Gluten Intorlerant this summer. That has been an interesting journey, but I'm so thankfully to finally know what's making me sick all the time. :) It's been really tough trying to not cheat this fall.
Then a part of my world fell out this past September. One of my favorite uncles (Greg) had a brain hemorrage, and went several days without being found or getting the medical treatment he needed. That happened the 1st week of September. It will always be one of the longest weekends of my life. Being told to say your good-byes, that the staff didn't feel he was going to make it. BUT he has beaten the odds and has survived. He is not like what he used to be, but how could a person be after such an ordeal? It's a miracle that he even survived as long as he did without medical help. He's now at a facility that works with people that have TBI's and helps them relearn skills to live on your own. He's in Red Wing right now, which is forever from us it feels, but I need to see him. I miss him so much. You wouldn't believe how much of a help he was to mom and to myself, especially when Jessie was gone out of town.
That same weekend unbeknowest to us, I got pregnant again. It would take me almost a month I think it was to find out. I was so tired and run down. Cycle-wise everything was fine or so I thought. I was SO tired all the time. So I went in, thinking it was my thyroid or a cold or something. None of that...just pregnant. It was a shocker to say the least. Then I was worried because I was still taking my Ritalin, I had several drinkers earlier in September, and wasn't taking care of myself, other then trying to lose weight. Which on a side note - I lost 30lbs from January '09 to the 8 weeks of pregnancy. It was something we WERE NOT planning, yes, most people know that I had always mentioned that I would love to have 4 or more kids...then I started doing daycare. :) I get ALL the kids I want/can handle, and then at the end of the day or during the weekend it's just my 3 kids. I was really starting to enjoy that. No diapers (Cyril potty trained in August) and no major "stuff" like pack n plays to bring with us. It was really nice. BUT now we have child number 6 on the way. Yes - I said child number 6, because don't forget the twins in Germany.
Cyril is in absolute love with my belly, he tells people that it's his baby. He knows that when the snow is all gone baby will be here. Dawn & Spencer are excited too. Both want a sister. Dawn is tired of being the only girl, so she says. But now she wants a brother so she doesn't have to share her room. lol. Spencer wants a sister for the sole reason -he wants Shelby to have to share a room and understand what it's like. :) Time will tell. I was so sick for the 1st 15 weeks of pregnacy. Not only did I have the normal all day "morning" sickness, but in October, Cyril & I got the H1N1 virus. Thankfully Jessie and the other two did not get it.
But the fall had it's joys too. Dawn LOVES being in middle school. She started learning how to play the flute, and has continued taking her piano lessons. She is very musically inclined that way. She also tried out and made the local college Cantabile girls choir as a choirster. (The younger of the two girls choirs). She loved it, but didn't love it. She's still in girl scouts, I can't believe she's a Cadette already. But for now there are no sports or boyfriends to report.
Spencer is doing really good this year in 4th grade. His teachers have been very good, keeping things very structured at school. He's still a little behind with his fellow peers, but at least he really likes school this year. He was very excited to make a DS safe for his 4th grade Inventor's Congress, but he got sick the day of. We've all been battling the Norwalk(?) virus this week. He started seeing a counselor this fall to help with the issues he has due to his TBI, but I'm thankful for that. He's still doing OT but that will be for awhile, I believe this we get his sensory issues under control. They've been bad this year. :( I'm just totally drained by them, I can only imagine what he feels.
Cyril is a 3yr old ham, and charmer. He has tranisitioned very well, to having to share mommy with other kids. Now if I can get him to be okay with playing with kids when I'm not right by him. I think would be great. I've been thinking of putting him in preschool in the fall but we'll see.
I think that's it for now...this has gotten really long. ;)
God Bless.

They've been bad this year. :( I'm just totally drained by them, I can only imagine what he feels.
Cyril is a 3yr old ham, and charmer. He has tranisitioned very well, to having to share mommy with other kids. Now if I can get him to be okay with playing with kids when I'm not right by him. I think would be great. I've been thinking of putting him in preschool in the fall but we'll see.
I think that's it for now...this has gotten really long. ;)
God Bless.
